Marnix Kappers (8 September 1943 – 10 October 2016) was a Dutch cabaret artist and actor. In 1966, Kappers won the Camarettenfestival with cabaret group Déjà Vu and a year later he won the Personality Award at the same festival. He worked with Wim Kan and was part of the Ivo de Wijs cabaret group from 1978 through 1980. He played in various youth series on Dutch television, most notably "Kunt u mij de weg naar Hamelen vertellen, mijnheer?" and "Familie Knots'. During the 1990s he hosted "Knoop in je Zakdoek" alongside Sylvia Millecam. He also became the voice of the Dutch version of "Postman Pat" and he sang the intro to "Peppi & Kokki", a dutch children's program. Kappers had a long-term relationship with dancer John Kuipers who died in 2013. Kappers himself died in October 2016, with his family stating he was still shocked by the death of Kuipers and while battling severe health problems "could not cope with more sad twists of fate".
